A wonderful miniature from this unique and recent find in the Congo. A twinned cerussite with bright green phosphohedyphane coating is centered nicely on contrasting matrix. Botryoidal texture and complete on all sides. Vibrant color and sharp terminations, this is an excellent specimen in pristine condition. Phosphohedyphane is formed when the cerussite is exposed to a phosphate solution. In my opinion this find is the finest for the species.
